Hey all,are those Sous large enough for a Turkey? I usually do 12 to 16 lb Bird. I always Brine it,then BBQ on a Weber Rotisserie. I was thinking,I could leave the Lid Off and cook that skin to perfection,then pull it.

Actually,that might take too long? Mabye Lid On for like 25 min? I have never done it that way,but I do know how the BBQ cooks. Lid off is like lookin at Boiling Water. Great for drinkin beer and watching though.

I’ve never sous vide(d?) anything larger than a tri tip, but I don’t see why not. If you have a big enough pot and enough time, you should be able to sous vide just about anything - provided large enough bags are available.

I did a nice one in a apple cider brine, skinned it then in a weber kettle indirect low heat slow BBQ with sweet baby rays BBQ sauce (triple layer of foil under a wire rack for airflow under the turkey with a vertical foil wall with the coals on the other side of the kettle)

Wow,that sound’s intense. I can see what you describe in my Head on Cooking.

When you say “skinned” it,do you mean,Broke Down? No skin? The Bird is Whole?

Nowhere Man!
As long as I have been cooking. I have always marinated meat overnight in the fridge. In a pan or bowl filled so the marinate overtopped the meat. It was to my disgust that I learned my friend Amy would marinate her meats left out overnight in a crock with a lid and only minimal marinate. Her food is delicious. She Sous-vides Turkey breasts with the skin on and then puts the breasts in the electric smoker to finish them. Just amazing. She makes Kitchen sink salads this time of year. The best you ever had. Works of art with 20 plus ingredients. Mostly grilled meats. Good cheeses and whatever is in season. Pickled watermelon, homemade croutons from homemade breads. She is a very creative cook. I am privileged to live near her. I love her Kids, Her Mom, and I have become good friends with her Husband. I regularly eat at her house and cook for her family. Her Husband is also a great cook. I have been working with him on Sous-vide wings. I think we have the process down. Just checking in. Happy harvest time everyone. Life is about good rides, with good friends, good wines, and breaking bread with them after a good day on the trails.

More chicken, 1kg of boneless thighs, just used a mild nando's seasoning, coz children.
There was a plain piece for an intolerant person but I lost track of which one it was when the flare up happened, it was rather large.

EDIT- I need to get some Korean Pepper again, it makes cheese on toast acceptable as a main meal, it's so damn tasty!

Korean Red Pepper Flakes

The warm fruity flavour and mild chilli heat of these red pepper flakes makes this unique spice a versatile addition to most savoury dishes.

Was really hungry this morning but when the burger arrived I wasn't all that hungry, was probably good as I don't think I could have ingested the whole burger's worth of salt in one go.
